Details of John Harbaugh's eye-popping five-year Giants contract emerge
The Giants are backing up the Brink’s truck for John Harbaugh.

Harbaugh, who was first reported to be headed to the Giants late Wednesday by The Post’s Paul Schwartz, reportedly will command upwards of $20 million per season on his five-year contract, per NFL Network, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in the league.

With Harbaugh set to top $100 million with his deal, the deal puts him right in line with Kansas City’s Andy Reid and Denver’s Sean Payton, each of whom is also in the $20 million range.

Reid is believed to be the league’s highest-paid coach, earning $20 million per season with the Chiefs, which means Harbaugh could potentially surpass him.

While the deal is not official, the Giants hinted at the inevitably on social media.

Harbaugh was making $17 million per season in Baltimore before his exit after 18 seasons, so this pact is a slight raise from his previous deal with the Ravens.

It appears the Giants will also open their wallets for his staff, with Harbaugh eyeing Todd Monken as his offensive coordinator, as Monken was with him in Baltimore for the past three seasons.

Schwartz previously reported that the Giants and Harbaugh spent a long day together on Wednesday, discussing job details over dinner at Elia Mediterranean Restaurant in East Rutherford.

Harbaugh also met with quarterback Jaxson Dart at the Giants’ facility as Giants brass continued to work with Harbaugh’s representation to reach an agreement.

The Giants have been starved for wins in recent years and hope that Harbaugh can lead the franchise back to relevance.

The Ravens had some tough luck in recent years, culminating in Harbaugh’s firing after three straight disappointing exits, including a missed field goal by Tyler Loop to seal his coaches fate.

Mets finalize $3.9 million deal with international prospect they stole from Yankees

Thursday morning was significant for the Mets organization even without a Kyle Tucker decision.

For a second straight year, the Mets landed one of the top international prospects as the signing period opened — this time stealing him from the Yankees.

The Mets officially brought in Dominican shortstop Wandy Asigen, whom MLB Pipeline rated as the second-best prospect in the class, for a reported $3.9 million.

The Mets entered the day with a pool of $5,440,000, which they augmented by sending 20-year-old lefty prospect Franklin Gomez to the Guardians for a larger allotment to land prospects.

Asigen is a 16-year-old lefty swinger whose big bat is his calling card — and was expected to be a Yankee until last month.

The Yankees fired longtime international scouting director Donny Rowland, after which Asigen backed out of his agreement.

Three men arrested for ‘attempted murder’ of feds in Minneapolis ID'd as illegal immigrants from Venezuela

The Department of Homeland Security said the suspects — Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledzema — were all in the country illegally, and are now in ICE custody.

“What we saw last night in Minneapolis was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement. Our officer was ambushed and attacked by three individuals who beat him with snow shovels and the handles of brooms. Fearing for his life, the officer fired a defensive shot,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement.

“Mayor [Jacob] Frey and Governor [Tim] Walz have to get their city under control. They are encouraging impeding and assault against our law enforcement which is a federal crime, a felony. This is putting the people of Minnesota in harm’s way.”

Protests have roiled Minneapolis since the Jan. 7 shooting death of Renee Good, who was killed by an ICE agent after clipping him with her SUV while attempting to evade arrest.

Sosa-Celis was shot in the leg after he started viciously assaulting an ICE agent with a “shovel or broomstick,” and the fed fired a defensive shot after the two other men rushed out of a nearby apartment to join in the attack with a snow shovel and broom handle.
